As cities intensify land use with taller buildings, elevators and escalators (E&E) become an integral part of users’ journey and experience.  Recent development for new E&E solutions are focused on resource efficiency and enhancement of sustainability and operational performance of buildings.

New buildings and existing buildings slated for refurbishments could benefit from innovations in its E&E systems.  This presentation will highlight:

• How advancements in material science contributes to energy efficiency;
• Elevators could now be installed in a full timber shaft;
• Predictive maintenance technology could enhance operational performance;
• An open API platform that enables unlimited possibilities of ecosystem partnership.
